IMPROVEMENT INFTABLE S FOR SAWlNG-MACHINES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 180,412, dated August1, 1876; application filed 7 January 22, 1876.

To all whom it may concern I Be it known'that I, FRANK J. BETTS, of LongIsland City, county of Queens, State of New York, have invented a newand useful Improvement in Tables for Sawing-lllachines and supportingthe saw-blade, which improvement is set forth in the annexedspecification, reference being had to the aeoonipanying drawings. Y

The object of my invention isvto bevel the tables of scroll-sawingmachines at the requisite angle for-inlaid work, and for bevel-sawing orother purposes, by means of a hinge attached to the tables thereof, asrepresented in Figures 1 and 2, and is particularly adapted to theFleetwood machine, without making changes in its construction, as wellas to other machines now in use.

Fig. 1 represents the hinge opened at a working angle, and attached tothe table-top F by its upper half B, while the lower halfA machine, asat G. Upon this lower half A are 1 two lugs, between which a steelpinion, C, re-

volves, and supports the saw-blade H H in line, and prevents it frombowing when the work is being pressed against it. but it may bedispensed with in light work. D is a thumbscrew, passing through partsof the hinge A B, as at I and P, for seourin g the table-top at therequired angle. E is the hinge-pin.

Fig.2 shows the hinge opened; and similar letters refer to similar partsin Fig. 1.

I claim as my invention The above-described attachment for bevelingsaw-tables, in combination with a revolving saw-support, substantiallyas and for the purposes set forth.
